Jamaica ambassador calls for more OAS
involvement in Haiti

Kingston, Jamaica, CANA - Jamaica's Ambassador to
the United States, Dr Richard Bernal, has encouraged
the leadership of the Organisation of American States
(OAS), to increase its involvement with the Haitian
political process.

The ambassador's comments came last Friday at the
close of a special session of the Permanent Council
of the OAS, which was convened to further explore
ways of promoting stability, democracy as well as
economic and social development in Haiti.

Dr Bernal called on the OAS leadership to constructively
engage the Government and people of Haiti, in their
quest to establish and sustain democratic institutions
in that country.
